OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - EVNROLL PUTTERS

[cnosil 14,643]

I would go further and say that since the putter is a one-of-a-kind club/swing in the bag that the swing weight actually doesn't matter for performance in contrast to a set of irons where you would like them all to have the same swing weight (or MOI).

But as you say it will change the way the putter feels and swings so lead tape might have to be the answer if I really hate it.

I was actually debating adding 1" to the length anyway, which is worth about 6 swing weight points the other way. So my overall SW change would only be 3 points in the end if I went that route. 

Ahhh, the variables you can obsess over and still miss that shaky 3-footer!

 

Putter weighting is an interesting discussion . I have heard that beat results may come from a putter that is swing weighted roughly the same as your sand wedge. Might be a testing opportunity

I have to pay a visit to my fitter some time this Spring so it will give me a chance to play around with the sand wedge and putter and see what the swing weight number actually are and how close they may be. My fitter fits using MOI so I don't actually know what the swing weight is on my sand wedge.

I really need to put some time into possibly getting one of these. I prefer a larger mallet and game with the 2-ball right now. I need to figure out how i can test one at a outdoor putting green and not just on a store putting mat.

As a fellow lefty, I say good luck with that endeavor. The second hand market is pretty good (eBay, BST on various golf websites) for LH Evnroll and with limited lefty options, I say go find a decent ER7 and give it a try. If it doesn't work out, then you can recover most of your cost selling it to someone else. Just a thought.

I think Evnroll offers a nice return policy if you wanted to buy and try to see if you like it, that may work.

You should be able to contact the guys at EVNROLL (Super nice, by the way) and they will let you know where to go for one of their certified fitters in your area. I'm not sure about return policy if you get it custom fit, you'll just have to ask them.

I honestly didn't think I'd ever find a putter that I loved more than my current setup, but I did. 

It's still my beloved ER2, but with the Gravity Grip installed. 

I installed the Gravity Grip blindly, without knowing how I'd like like it. The early results after a few weeks of practicing inside are incredible. The Gravity Grip has added a whole new level of stability to my stroke. I just love what it is does for the balance and feel of the putter. I absolutely can not wait to get it out on the course. 

Once the Gravity Grips start selling outside of the Evnroll branded version I will definitely be posting my thoughts in that thread. 

 

I really need to get one of those grips for my ER6.

[jlukes 12,758]

Well my Gravity Grip experiment is over. Loved the feel it gave through the stroke, but the shape of the grip did not work for my hand size and how I like to place my hands on the grip. 

I just installed a Super Stroke Traxion Tour 2.0 with a 50g counterweight and it's a much more natural feeling for me. 

[jlukes 12,758]

The ER2 is back in the bag.  Kicked out the Spider X and Scotty Phantom.  Distance control with the ER2 is just too good for me to not have it in the bag.

I was wondering if/when the ER2 would make it's way back in the bag.

I’m struggling with the same thing on my er5 right now.. I just would hate to destroy the grip if I don’t like the next one better.

Try and get some grip solvent under the grip. It will loosen the grip and you should be able to pull it off without damage. You could also get a grip removal tool.

@cnosil  is right on the money with the grip removal tool. I bought one from golfworks for basically the cost of one putter grip. Super easy to use and pays for itself with the first use.

I realize that this thread has been dead, in regards to the original test, for some time and that all of us "know" about EVNRoll and its prowess as a topline putter.  But the general public and the even somewhat informed public remains clueless.

I played with an old friend yesterday, one whom I haven't played with in a couple of years although we keep in touch via social media.  He lives in Pennsylvania and used to come to Florida frequently while his mother was living.  Now its not so much.  We met via the old PGA Partners club for anyone who might recall that fiasco.  Actually I ended up at MGS because I met RookieBlue there and he suggested that I try MGS out.

At any rate my friend, who had formerly logged several seasons as an LPGA caddie a while back, knew nothing about EVNRoll until yesterday.  He enjoyed watching mine get the right speed and roll in 4 footer after four footer.  He knows who Guerin Rife is and was surprised to learn that he was back making putters under this new name.

Just shows you the importance of advertising and also of being a part of a community like this one where we get up to date info on equipment and data to help us with starting points when looking to purchase or trade and switch out.

 

I can tell you that unless someone is coming up with a putter like Rodney's from Caddie shack this putter is never leaving my bag.  It still feels like it was made just for me.

I'm going to be getting a custom putter for Father's day/my birthday with my son JJ and baby boy #2 (coming in June) names stamped on it 

I've been trying every putter I can at a store and just nothing feels as good as my ER2. 

Pretty sure I'm going to end up getting a used ER2 and sending it off for a refinish/stamping and paintfill. 

Thanks Mr. Rife. You've basically ruined all other putters for me haha

What about a 2.2?

I kind of like the full offset of the plumber's neck, and I know you have a Scotty at home, so it could be the best of both worlds? I was rolling one at the shop the other day while regripping my ER2 (yea, I'm going back too) and it was kinnnndaaa niccceeeee. Then I was daydreaming about putting the new Stability Tour shaft in it after reading the MGS blog the other day.

I've thought about the 2.2. Evnroll said they have some new stuff being announced around the Pga show so going to wait to see what that is.

The funny thing is, he (Guerin) doesn't even need new product next year. He could literally just release all of his current putters in black and I'm sure that could float him for another year while he develops something else.

If a black 2.2 comes out, I don't know how I could resist.

Any new developments on the horizon for evnroll?

Hard to say.  With the golf industry basically shut down it will be interesting to see what, when, and if 2021 products are released.
